Nitpicking MA's New Governor On His First Day

I didn't want to be a pain in Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA) on his very first day in office, but then in his inaugural address, Baker claimed energy prices are rising in Massachusetts but falling everywhere else. That's false.

If Massachusetts wants to stop getting gouged by spiking fracked gas prices, the answer isn't to grow more dependent on fracked gas by building more fracked gas pipelines, it's to invest in wind and solar, which are the same price year-round.
